Watch: Varun Chakravarthy dismisses David Miller for 63 in IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash

During the T20 World Cup 2024 final against India at the Kensington Oval, it was David Miller who stood before the Rohit Sharma-led side like a rock. Once he was dismissed, India claimed the trophy, which meant Miller had some unfinished business against the defending champions, and the Super 8 clash of the T20 World Cup 2026, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, was a good position to take the revenge.

South Africa did not make a great start in the game, losing three wickets, including their captain, in just four hours before David Miller walked into the middle at number 5 and looked in a different mood from the very first ball as he smashed all the bowlers around the park.

Miller went after Varun Chakravarthy from the very first over as he cleared his front leg and put him into the long-on fence for a 95-meter six. That was a poor evening and bowling from the leg spinner, who had been in great form throughout the last 12 months of the game.

Miller was finally dismissed in Varun’s very last over of the spell. On the fourth delivery, Miller was hauled out at long-off. The leg spinner slowed down the pace and drifted one wider of the off stump, which made the left-hander better reach out on the lofted drive, and he did not get hold of the shot and ended up finding the fielder.

Miller was dismissed on 63 runs in 35 balls with the help of seven boundaries and three sixes at a strike rate of 180 as he also became South Africa’s third-leading run-getter in the history of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with the help of 569 runs, by overtaking JP Duminy in the list.

Miller also put up a fine partnership of 97 runs for the fourth wicket with Dewald Brevis, who ended up with 45 runs in 29 balls, 155 with the help of three boundaries and as many sixes.
